Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate VA examination and opinion, as well as missing evidence regarding the potential connection between in-service mild sleep apnea and current diagnosis.
